Dugout Discussion – Spurs vs Crystal Palace

A busy Sunday treats us to four fixtures before the final international break of 2017 is upon us.

Up first, we make our way to Wembley as Spurs entertain Crystal Palace in the 12pm kick-off.

With four of the top five squaring up later in the day, all eyes are on Harry Kane against the Eagles.

The Tottenham striker is the number one captain choice for Gameweek 11, selected by 27.6% of Fantasy Premier League managers after bagging a brace in four of his last six league outings.

Dele Alli owners are left frustrated, though, as he misses out through a hamstring injury, while at the back, Ben Davies drops to the bench as Danny Rose is handed a first league start of the season.

Still sitting in 20% of FPL sides, Davies looks set for an exodus over the break – he’s failed to start Tottenham’s last four home league encounters at Wembley.

For the visitors, we get another chance to scout Wilfried Zaha as Roy Hodgson’s side prepare for a fine run of fixtures.

The Ivorian international has scored in two of three appearances since being handed a central role up front upon his return from injury.

Over the next six Gameweeks, Palace have four favourable home matches (EVE STO BOU WAT) allied with trips to Brighton and West Brom.

    Something needs to change from spurs. Maybe this is an idea?
    Gazza
    Davinson Dier Vertonghen
    Aurier Dembele Winks Davies
    Eriksen Son
    Kane

    Sissoko->Dembele
    Rose->Davies

      How's my man Zaha playing?

      1. Rainer
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Looks a steal at 6.8

        1. Differentiator
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Only while he is playing striker IMO

          1. Ask Yourself
            • 8 Years
            6 years, 7 months ago

            Yeah this

          2. Rainer
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 7 months ago

            Yeah of course.

            But fixtures!

      2. El-Kloppico
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        better than Kane

      3. Gobigorgohome
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        In Dier's pocket

      4. Speédy
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Dier destroying him so far,looks lively though.

    10. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Scott Dann it's only a matter of time before he starts scoring points. 4.7 is too good to be true. Him & Charlie Daniels both.

      1. Gobigorgohome
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        This.. goals are coming from him

        1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Goals, CS's, baps & even assists I'd say

          1. Gobigorgohome
            • 12 Years
            6 years, 7 months ago

            Doing Bavies to Dann soon

      2. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
        • 10 Years

        Agreed

    11. BIG TONES
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Spurs win this in the final 15 mins

    12. Differentiator
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Don't worry Kane cappers, Dembele will come on shortly after HT if it stays like this

    13. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      This is pretty boring

      1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Go have a belt

    14. diesel001
      • 7 Years

      Kane offside

      1. George Sillett
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Do you think posting this informs anybody of anything useful ?

        1. Yozzer
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Hahaha

      2. @FPLDIARYFPL
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Kane gone off for half time.

      3. @FPLDIARYFPL
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Kane in the changing room at half time

      4. @FPLDIARYFPL
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Kane drinks some water to dehydrate himself

    15. GAMBIT
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Kane looks okay now

    16. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Kane sprinting fine

    17. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Gaz n his car essential

    18. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      The only good thing as it stays 0-0 is less likelihood of harry Kane being subbed until they have a couple of goals lead

    19. Monkey Hanger
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Anyone know any Voodoo spells?

      Might have to throttle a chicken at HT.

      Get rid of this Wembley curse once and for all.

      1. El-Kloppico
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Sacrifice Rose in the middle of the park..
        shuld clear the curse..

        1. Monkey Hanger
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Human sacrifice.

          Like it.

    20. Midlands Saint73
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Kane goal and Davies remain seated please football gods

      1. Tom Heat-is-on
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Who's coming from the bench?

    21. Greko82
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      10 out of 11 gws my score is more than the average. But apart from gw1 and lukaku all of my others captain picks have been really bad! Captained Kane today and it doesn’t look so promising so far!

    22. Ask Yourself
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Zaha vs groß?
      Is azpi worth the extra over the rest of chelsea defence

    23. Bring the Cavalry
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Spurs are looking really poor today

    24. Yozzer
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      At least if kane blanks all the non job players will sell him for lukaku .. This can only be good right?

      1. Rover
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Sadly no

    25. Jayv807
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Spurs look lost without Trippier and Davies

      1. nadman89
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        I don't think think aurier and rose are step downs haha . Maybe no alli running off of kane in a free role makes it easier to mark the team

    26. Tim Canterbury
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Standard 'easy' home game for Spurs. Struggling to create a chance

      1. Sailboats
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        You just know Spurs will win 1-0 via a Dier goal, Sissoko assist

    27. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Who do you reckon will collect most points over the next 4-5 games?

      A) Zaha (playing as a a striker atm)
      B) Shaqiri (good form, decent fixtures - suggested him two weeks ago before his two returns but got laughed at)
      C) Gross (consistent!)
      D) Other midfielder from 6.8 and down

      1. squ1rrel
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Gross probably

        1. FC Hakkebøf
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Cant help but feel that i have missed that train

      2. FC Hakkebøf
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        7.0* for option D

      3. Rash
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Poss A or D richarlison

        1. FC Hakkebøf
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Yeah forgot to mention richarlison

      4. Business Cat
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Throw Richarlison, Choupo and Demarai Gray into the mix too

        1. FC Hakkebøf
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Gray nailed? Rather have shaq than moting

          1. Clump
            • 9 Years
            6 years, 7 months ago

            Gray getting his chance under new manager.
            Playing well too. Looks a talent.

            1. Business Cat
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 9 Years
              6 years, 7 months ago

              Yeah, him and Chilwell are ones to monitor at Leicester

          2. Business Cat
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            6 years, 7 months ago

            Could even throw Winjaldum in too, he's 6.7m with some nice home fixtures coming up.

            1. FC Hakkebøf
              • 7 Years
              6 years, 7 months ago

              Too inconsistent and will prolly.get benched when Lallan (and coutinho,) returns after IB

      5. Clump
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Dunno, but your grav is making me hungry 🙂

        1. FC Hakkebøf
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Thats the whole point of it 😉

    28. SirStevieG
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Kane could still come off at half time if he's not right 🙁

      1. El-Kloppico
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        ok. if thats wat u want to hear
